Central Charters & Tours

I would have to say that I would never use this company again. It wasn't a bad experience, it was just slightly disappointing. Our captain was late arriving that morning and we had only scheduled a 6-hour trips so this was extremely inconvenient. I had booked this charter almost a year in advance and we were so excited to have our pictures taken with the fish, like you see all over the website, but it wasn't even offered. There was four of us in our group and two in the other group and our fish were not kept separate, and the captain would not weigh our fish. When we would ask, he would just guess. The other two people on our boat ended up giving most of "their fish" to the captain, which he hand selected from the total 12 fish caught. He cleaned the fish on the water and we never even got an opportunity to take picture with them on shore. Between the four of us, we only ended up bringing home 40 lb of halibut, including only eight cheeks instead of 16, and I know we caught significantly more than this between 8 fish. We only booked the 6-hour tour because we had no idea how some of the people would handle being on a boat in the ocean. We did catch our limit and that was great, but then our trip was cut short instead of letting us fish for other species. If you're coming to Alaska and looking for an amazing halibut experience, because of course that's exactly what we're doing in Homer Alaska, I would recommend paying the extra $50 and going with a company that has a better reputation for pleasing it's customers. I feel this company needs to explain better to their customers exactly what their trip is going to include if they are booking the half day.

I have stayed in every room they have over the last 9 years. Trips with family and friends from South Carolina. Several fishing trips. Several trips to Halibut Cove and Seldovia. Other times just to relax and enjoy Homer. Andre and staff are excellent at providing for their customers. I would highly recommend a stay here and the views from every room are exceptional. Look forward to my next visit sometime next summer.
